Residence Massacre Halloween 2025 Event

The Halloween 2025 event for Residence Massacre launched October 24, 2025 and wrapped with the Post-Halloween patch on November 23, 2025 — the update that introduced The Bunker memory, placed the Graves modifier on Night 3, and expanded Bloodmoon and Purgatory badge routes players still chase for Camper, Vessel, and Crimson Graves cosmetics. If you remember Lakeview Ghost on the Cabin 3 bench or bunker hatches opening in lobby, this article is the full event ledger cross-linked to The Bunker guide and Night 3.

MisterGamer_67 and Tea Studio ship Halloween as a content milestone, not just skins: new memory, new modifier on the latest night, crate refunds, and double-digit badge batches that move Mutation outfit percent bars on the Badge Tracker.

Event timeline

Date	Milestone
Oct 24, 2025	Halloween 2025 event update — Bunker memory, Graves, crate
Oct 28, 2025	Bunker Patch 1 — blackout ventilation, debris oxygen, cooldown tweaks
Oct 29, 2025	Bunker Patch 2 — color annotations for colorblind power grids
Nov 23, 2025	Post-Halloween — event ended; Bunker available from lobby for everyone

Follow-up Bunker patches matter for The Bunker runners: ventilation breaks slower during blackouts, tablet map visible in normal mode blackouts, debris clears grant oxygen, and colorblind-friendly wire annotations landed before the event fully ended.

The Bunker memory launch

The Bunker became the third main memory alongside Spirit Helper and Mansion Incident.

Event hook: Lakeview Ghost / The Miner appeared on the bench near the Campfire by Cabin 3 during Night 3 Halloween runs. Interacting triggered “share eyes” vision showing Bunker lore — teasing underground routes before lobby access opened.

Post-event (Nov 23): Bunker unlocked for everyone from the lobby without seasonal gating — the permanent change most players remember after pumpkins despawned.

Underground gameplay emphasizes flashlights, audio cues, synchronized interact pads, and powerless segments — full routing on The Bunker. Skills transfer directly to Night 3 fuse blackouts covered in Barricades & Generator.

Graves modifier on Night 3

Halloween 2025 added Graves to Night 3 — graveyard atmosphere, pumpkin threats, and modifier stacking rules with Bloodmoon.

During the event: Graves was accessible with no requirements for the full Halloween window — any group could toggle it like Party during Anniversary events.

After event: Graves typically requires beating Night 3 once or owning related badge unlocks — confirm live rules on Night 3 before scheduling badge farms.

Graves interacts with Bloodmoon for harder badge lines (Purgatory, Bloody Harvest, Crimson Graves outfits). Plan modifier stacks using Night Prep Checklist heater and flashlight columns even though Graves is not a cold modifier — pumpkin damage normalized to 15 across nights in later January QoL.

Bloodmoon and Purgatory badge context

Halloween batches reinforce Bloodmoon — unlocked by beating Night 3 once — as the prestige modifier for outfit rewards:

• Crimson Camp → Camper outfit (Bloodmoon Night 3 among requirements)
• Purgatory → Vessel outfit (harder Bloodmoon stack routes)
• Crimson Graves → Bloody Zombie outfit (Graves + Bloodmoon combinations)

Bloodmoon shortens daytime, intensifies spawns, and doubles win payouts historically — economy now labeled Coins after August 2026 TIX rename. See How to Earn Coins for post-PvP income.

Eleven new badges

The Halloween 2025 headline update listed 11 new badges plus old badges and cosmetics back for a limited time. Public badge lists include event exclusives like:

• Pumpkin Smasher, Backyard Curse, Crimson Graves, Spooky Skeletons, Bloody Bones, Bloody Harvest
• Mansion Incident and Bloody Mansion lines tied to memory overlap
• Pest Control, Smell of Death, Against All Odds for Night 3 anomaly routes

Exact earn instructions live in the in-game Badge Index (Lead Factory Worker in lobby parking lot). This wiki’s Badge Tracker groups them for Mutation percent planning.

Cosmetics: four outfits and seven hats

Four new outfits and seven new hats shipped in the Halloween crate and badge rewards — including Headless Horseman (Bloody Harvest), Zombie (Backyard Curse), and Bloody Zombie (Crimson Graves) lines from broader badge families.

The Halloween crate returned with TIX refund for crates increased to 50% during the event — a generous reroll window for hat collectors before January crate skip QoL and later August crate removal.

Halloween crate and economy note

Crate gambling was still live during Halloween 2025. Players chasing hats should remember:

• 50% TIX (now Coins) refund on crate rolls was event-only generosity.
• January 2026 QoL added crate skip button.
• August 2026 rework removed crate system entirely for hat shop milestones — historical context only for new readers.

Co-op priorities during the event

1. Bunker first or badges first? — Pub groups often split: two players Bunker memory, two farm Graves Night 3 for badge percent.
2. Lakeview Ghost — Night 3 Halloween only; schedule Cabin 3 bench visit before event ends if you want lore sync.
3. Colorblind grids — Oct 29 patch added annotations; redo Bunker if you failed wire puzzles pre-patch.
4. Modifier stacks — Bloodmoon + Graves wipes teams learning Night 3 layout; clear vanilla Night 3 once per Getting Started advice.
5. Discord callouts — Official Discord pinned event dates when bugs hit party modifier locks (fixed January 2026).

Comparison to Halloween 2024

Halloween 2024 focused on Night 2 rework, Spirit Helper and Mansion Incident lobby hard modes, and a secret game mode. Halloween 2025 shifted scope to Night 3 and The Bunker — vertical progression matching the August 2025 Night 3 launch. Players who mastered Night 2 in 2024 but skipped August 2025 should read Night 3 before Graves stacks.
